digitalmars.D.learn - unittests and imported modules

reply kdevel <kdevel vogtner.de> writes:
Today I moved some functions to a new module within the same 
package
and ran

    dmd -g -i -unittest -checkaction=context -main -run <filename>.

dmd reported

    5 unittests passed

I would have expected that only the one unittest in <filename> 
would
have been compiled. After inserting print statements into the
other modules I found that the additional four unittests originate
from the imported files. Is there a trick to get only the unittest
from <filename> run other than dropping the "-i" and specifiying
the other object files on the command line?

And why are the unittests from the imported phobos functions not 
run?

Which version of dmd is this? In the latest releases, this inaccurate message has been replaced with: 5 modules passed unittests The count displayed is not the number of unittests, but the number of *modules* that passed unittests. I've no idea why the original message was worded in such a misleading way, but it should have been fixed by now. T -- Why did the mathematician reinvent the square wheel?

DMD Versions > v2.094.1 expose a library issue here on my machine such that I can only run the 32-Bit version of the compiler (which nonetheless produces working 64-Bit-Code).

AFAIK it's currently not possible with the built-in test runner. But there are dub packages for replacement test runners that may offer this functionality.
 And why are the unittests from the imported phobos functions not run?
Phobos was hacked to only run unittests when StdUnittest is defined. It's a workaround for the lameness that unittests from *all* imported modules are run with a -unittest build, including from external modules and libraries you may not be concerned with.
